Responsibilities

  • Architect and drive the long-term technical vision and roadmap for the presentation platform architecture
  • Lead the design and implementation of novel systems that span backend, native mobile code, and webviews
  • Challenge technical conventions while optimizing for low-latency server-driven UX
  • Explore bold bets such as A2UI and/or other Generative UI opportunities
  • Spearhead complex, cross-functional projects that require influencing and aligning multiple engineering organizations
  • Build foundational platforms and tools for product teams to rapidly prototype and scale new customer-facing experiences

  • Solve sophisticated technical challenges in a distributed system that supports tens of thousands of microservices
  • Influence the future of the Uber Eats consumer experience through partnership with Design & Product leadership

Benefits

  • Employees at Uber are often offered comprehensive health, life, disability, and mental wellness benefits, along with wellbeing stipends, travel medical coverage, and monthly Uber credits for Rides and Eats.
